Eudora mail access

[admin_2]

Do you know how security works when somebody is using eudora to access their mail on Unity? I assume that this is IMAP4, but do they need an NT account? Or is there some other authentication mechanism?<br><br><br><br>

IMAP supports cleartext, NTLM or MCIS authentication... the first two use your NT password, not real sure how MCIS works, frankly.

The Exchange schema has no entry to store a password so it relies on the NT account info. I don't think there's an alternate mechanism you can use to store a desktop access password unless someone else on the board has a snappy idea. I would think that folks using Eudora would have an NT account to get onto the network anyway so this is probably not an issue.
